GEORGIAN MP: AKHALKALAKI ARMENIANS' LANGUAGE DEMAND REPORT UNTRUE
March 19, 2013 - 21:38 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgian parliamentarian Zviad Kvachantiradze slammed
the report suggesting that Akhalkalaki's Armenian population demanded
to make Armenian a state language.
"No application regarding the issue above was ever sent to the
parliament," the First Vice Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Parliament of Georgia said.
"We'll give people a chance to develop their own language, yet it
doesn't mean that the Georgian language won't be used for record
management at court."
"Georgian authorities are open for discussions, and won't be able to
avoid the responsibility. In 1999, President Saakashvili was the one
who signed the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages
without consulting anyone," Caucasus Online quoted Kvachantiradze
as saying.
